Our Wedding Day Recommendations
Since it will be a long day for everyone, we STRONGLY recommend not attending the parks on Sunday outside of wedding events.
Instead, we recommend post-ceremony, going back to your hotel and changing into something more comfortable and either heading out to Disney Springs for shopping and a light lunch, followed by a nap, or head out for a leisure day by the hotel pool (weather dependent) followed by lunch and a nap. Whatever you decide, a nap is highly recommended prior to the evening reception.
For those with children that may want the night off or don't want to bring them to an early morning ceremony, Disney recommends utilizing the following services:
